CVE-2025-59810 is a medium-severity vulnerability identified in Fortinet FortiSOAR versions 7.3.0 through 7.6.2, including both on-premise and PaaS deployments. The root cause is improper access control mechanisms within the FortiSOAR platform, which allow an attacker with valid authentication credentials but limited privileges to craft specific requests that bypass intended access restrictions. This results in unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information, potentially including security incident data, configuration details, or other confidential operational information managed by FortiSOAR. The vulnerability does not affect system integrity or availability but poses a significant confidentiality risk. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) indicates that the attack can be performed remotely over the network with low complexity, requires privileges but no user interaction, and impacts confidentiality at a high level. FortiSOAR is widely used for security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR), making this vulnerability particularly concerning as it could expose sensitive security workflows and data to unauthorized internal users or compromised accounts. No public exploits have been reported yet, but the presence of this flaw necessitates prompt remediation to prevent potential exploitation by threat actors who gain authenticated access.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-59810 can be significant due to the sensitive nature of data handled by FortiSOAR platforms, including security incident details, automated response playbooks, and integration credentials. Unauthorized disclosure could lead to exposure of internal security processes, aiding attackers in evading detection or escalating attacks. Confidentiality breaches may also violate data protection regulations such as GDPR, resulting in legal and financial repercussions. Organizations in critical sectors like finance, energy, telecommunications, and government are particularly vulnerable because they rely heavily on SOAR platforms for incident management and rapid response. The medium severity rating reflects the absence of direct system compromise or denial of service but highlights the risk of internal data leakage. Since exploitation requires authentication, the threat is primarily from malicious insiders or attackers who have compromised legitimate user credentials. The lack of known exploits in the wild provides a window for proactive defense but should not lead to complacency.

1. Apply official patches or updates from Fortinet as soon as they become available to address the improper access control issue. 2. Restrict FortiSOAR access to trusted networks and enforce strict access controls, including network segmentation and VPN requirements. 3. Implement strong multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all FortiSOAR user accounts to reduce the risk of credential compromise. 4. Regularly audit user permissions and remove unnecessary privileges to minimize the attack surface for authenticated users. 5. Monitor FortiSOAR logs for unusual authenticated request patterns that could indicate exploitation attempts. 6. Employ anomaly detection tools to identify suspicious internal activity related to FortiSOAR access. 7. Educate security teams about the vulnerability and ensure incident response plans include steps for potential information disclosure scenarios. 8. Consider temporary compensating controls such as disabling non-essential features or interfaces until patches are applied.
